Piece of information

[Guest guest]

I am vegan so I don't use nor wear anything made from animal products or by

products or tested on animals. But I wanted to pass this information onto all of

you for those that don't want to inadvertently buy these products. I was just

reading today in " The Idiot's Guide to being a Vegan " , pg 311. Learned a lot of

stuff that I hadn't known. I knew that fur can be labeled as rabbit, fox, etc

and if from China or other countries it could be from a dog or a cat. Nasty.

However, leather manufacturers around the world sometimes use skins from other

animal such as cats, dogs, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, deer in their production

fo their leather products. Truth in labeling laws are virtually non-existent for

leather products and those products are imported to the U.S.

Good points.. I too am vegan and I don't think many people realize the

impact animals have in their lives.
